Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

The other side of the maze

……

"Master Jiraiya, you are so charming and suave. We girls really admire you!"

Like a traveler, Jiraiya wandered alone in this vast maze. In fact, he had not walked far when he realized that something was wrong.

After all, Jiraiya has never been a lucky person. It was already very strange that he did not encounter a dead end at the second fork in the road. Of course, if it was Bennett, he would be lucky not to fall into the trap.

Looking at a group of heavily made-up women who appeared out of nowhere and threw themselves into his arms with wine in their hands.

Jiraiya's true colors were revealed, and he opened his arms towards the women with a sly smile on his face.

"Beauties~ Here comes the handsome Jiraiya!" Soon, Jiraiya was immersed in a pool of wine and a forest of meat. He was pressed down by all kinds of beauties, and was fed with fine wine, looking like he couldn't extricate himself.

But then Jiraiya under the women suddenly turned into a pool of mud. As the women were stunned, the mud turned into a quagmire, which was getting bigger and bigger.

In just a moment, the heavily made-up women were trapped in the Yellow Spring Swamp.

And Jiraiya's real body slowly walked out from behind the women.

"Oh my, why do some people always think that they can trap Master Jiraiya with a mere honey trap? You know, a handsome guy like me will never be short of women!"

Jiraiya is really heroic. If such superficial means can be used to deal with Jiraiya, then Jiraiya will naturally not be able to achieve the great reputation that resounds throughout the ninja world.

Just as Jiraiya was feeling proud of himself, a very familiar female voice came from behind him. "Hey, Jiraiya. Long time no see!"

This voice is actually quite rough among girls, to put it bluntly, it is a female man's voice. However, in Jiraiya's ears, it sounds as sweet as a silver bell.

"Tsunade?" Jiraiya turned around in surprise, and saw Tsunade standing there gracefully. The environment around him also changed back to the familiar Konoha Ninja Village.

"Hey, Jiraiya, you little brat still remember to come back. Your master has been waiting for you for a long time." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen also appeared on this most familiar street, and next to him stood the pure-eyed Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya's arrival, nodded and smiled slightly, as if to express his welcome.

"Teacher Jiraiya, we're here to see you." Several voices were heard from behind.

Jiraiya turned around quickly and saw Minato Namikaze, Kushina and Naruto's family of three walking towards him with smiles on their faces.

All of this happened too suddenly, and I couldn't react at all. I just indulged in the beauty.

"Brother Jiraiya!" Before Jiraiya could react, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure suddenly pounced on him.

It was Tsunade's little Rope Tree who had already sacrificed in the Second Ninja World War. Tsunade and Jiraiya's original love for Naruto was largely due to the similar personalities between Naruto and Rope Tree.

"Jiraiya, stay here. It's really happy and will make you forget all the troubles and sorrows." Tsunade said as she gently moved closer to Jiraiya.

But when Tsunade's lips were close to Jiraiya's cheek, a hand slapped Tsunade's shoulder.

Jiraiya looked closely and found that it was Kato Dan who also died in the Second Ninja World War. He was also Tsunade's first love.

Logically speaking, Jiraiya should have hated him. After all, he was his absolute rival in love. However, such a rival in love actually appeared in front of him so openly at this moment.

"Jiraiya, tomorrow is Tsunade and I's wedding ceremony. You must come, I have invited you and Orochimaru to be best men."

Facing Kato Dan's question, Jiraiya did not reply. Instead, he gently jumped onto the electric pole that many ninjas loved to step on, and looked into the distance.

(Come on, do you know any ninjas who stepped on this telephone pole?)

All the scenery was still so familiar. Looking at the streets, the ninjas and civilians from the five major countries were all chatting and laughing as they shuttled through Konoha. Regardless of whether it was magnificent or not, this was the scenery Jiraiya longed for the most.

"Nagato, perhaps this is the Infinite Tsukuyomi you were hoping for in the end?"

Jiraiya had been gathering intelligence on the Akatsuki organization for many years, and he knew some inside information. Even the internal members probably didn't know much about the existence of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

After all, most of the Akatsuki organization are stubborn weirdos, like Deidara whose mind is full of explosions, Scorpion who longs for love from his parents and is twisted, the only thing he sees as money is the angle of eternal companionship, and the silly and innocent Hidan who was fooled by the cult...

There are really no normal people here, so they probably don't care about this information at all. On the contrary, they may know less than Jiraiya, the guy who is trying to get information.

"So, in my own dreams, I just hope that everyone is happy. I am such a narrow-minded person that I don't even have the courage to dream of getting you."

Jiraiya shook his head in self-mockery and looked at Tsunade and everyone else with tenderness, their faces filled with happiness.

At this moment, at the other end of the maze, at Orochimaru's place.

Orochimaru seemed to walk quietly into a room full of books and advanced instruments. The bookshelves were filled with various ninjutsu and knowledge that had never been heard of.

Looking at the endless book gallery, Orochimaru just kept walking.

He seemed to recall that decades ago, during the Second Ninja World War, he, Jiraiya and Tsunade had sat together and talked about their dreams.

What was it that he had said? Orochimaru seemed to have a vague memory... but it was obvious that he had not completed it.

As I was walking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

Orochimaru, who could remain calm in the face of the God of Ninjas, Senju Hashirama, almost cried out in fear the moment he saw the figure!

"Uchiha Itachi! (One against seven!)"

The moment he saw Itachi, Orochimaru's body broke out in a cold sweat. But he suddenly realized that Itachi's movements were exactly the same as his own.

It turned out that what was standing in front of him was a large mirror, and the projection in the mirror was actually Orochimaru himself!

Looking at himself in the mirror, Orochimaru seemed to be pleased. But the road seemed to have not yet come to an end.

I want to improve my ninjutsu to the extreme and become stronger than anyone else.

Oh, so this is the dream I talked about back then. But it doesn't seem like something I would say. Why do I want eternal life?

Orochimaru peeked behind the bookshelf and saw Nawaki, who was covered in blood and seriously injured. He was his first disciple. When facing his death, Orochimaru seemed to feel a tremor in his heart. It turned out that death existed like this.

What happens after you gain eternal life? Can you really finish this endless road? Orochimaru stopped.
